Indoor Gardening

For several months now William has been wanting to plant some flowers, and I have been excited about the idea. It would be nice to have some flowers around our apartment door. Last week for William's preschool we planted a few seeds and made mini greenhouses. We planted mostly herbs this time around, but plan on planting flowers soon as well. Hopefully in a couple of months I'll have some lovely flower pots to show.

These little pellets of peat moss made planting the seeds so easy!

We added lots of water. Notice the cool watering can? I got that at McDonald's in the 80s. Yes, I kept it. I'm a sentimental packrat.

The pellets soaked up a lot of water. We then pulled the netting aside and planted our seeds.

William was excited to put the flag labels in the dirt.

Our seeds sitting in their tiny greenhouses in our usually sunny windows.

It snowed the day we planted our seeds! I thought spring was already here, but winter came back for one last afternoon.
